Scouting Report
& Links |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|

Physical Description: Tall, projectable frame.
Looks the part. Has the frame to support added muscle as he
physically matures.
Hit: Starts open
with his hands high. Uses an abbreviated leg kick that he gets
down early. Good separation in his swing. Smooth uppercut bat
path with a two-hand finish. Good bat speed, makes very hard
contact. Utilizes his lower half efficiently and really rotates
through the hips. Pitch recognition and ability to hit velocity
are question marks right now. In the early stages of developing
an approach.
Power: Plus-to-better raw
power. Very impressive raw power. Has a swing designed to drive
the ball with loft and backspin and has shown the ability to hit
the ball 400-plus feet. Plus power potential.
Run:
Average speed. Likely to lose speed as he physically matures.
Defense: Red Sox believe he can stick in
center field long-term, but others believe he ends up in a
corner. Does not project as a standout defender in either
location. Average defensive profile. |
|
Arm: Average arm strength
Career
Notes: Attended the same high school as Anthony
Rizzo, Jesus Luzardo and Coby Mayo. Committed to Ole Miss. Named
Gatorade Player of the Year as a senior and won back-to-back
state titles to end his high school career.
Summation: Very intriguing power prospect with the
ceiling of an everyday outfielder. How his hit tool develops
will determine how much of his power potential actualizes. Power
is a carrying tool and is very impressive for his age. Should
develop into a solid defender also, but what he does at the
plate will be his calling card.
